in my head a blue fish has just died
DIR EN GREY WAS AWESOME HODAMN though there were some total fuckwits in my way a lot of the time D: and we didn't get to the last event of the evening (I had planned on having my wicked way with him) because it was almost 11 by the time we got back to my house (DDDD:) and I smelled REALLY FUCKING BAD because I'd been jumping around in a fucking dense-ass crowd with like four layers on since it was ridiculously cold outside. Literally dripping with sweat, I tell you. I would never allow this to happen. Only for DEG. <3333
Seriously though. Wow. I don't know if they just weren't at the top of their game at other times, but they were fantastic last night. I ended up about, mmm... six feet away? So pretty good. Though you know what? I'm sorry, tall people on my flist. But all of you should be banned from the front of crowds. D: It's no fair to us shorties. And the douchebag right next to me got the pick that Toshiya threw out into the crowd. Boo. Though actually, a pick would have done nothing to cool me off, and the water Die dumped on me and everyone in my near vicinity did much. :D; I am very grateful for that. I was starting to feel pretty faint at the end there, actually. Ahaha, whoops. I have to remember to dress better for these things.
It was an all-ages show, so it was full of like... preteen goth kids. X) I saw a few parents around, looking scandalized at the videos running on the wall on the back of the stage. Let me tell you. Quasi-tentacle sex? A penis with a face on it (teehee, ogenki clinic)? Not exactly all-ages, if you ask me. 8D
The most eventful part was right at the beginning, when this other band was still opening. Me and Jim were in the back, and some dude collapsed across the room. No idea what happened, but someone who was CPR-certified came over and took care of him until the ambulance came. Dude was breathing and kinda twitching/trying to sit up once in a while, but yeah. I dunno. I felt really bad for the girl with him. She was crying and freaking out and I think calling her mom and all that. Jim thought maybe he hit his head during the fall or something, which we didn't see. I kinda just figured it was drugs or something. *shrug* Who knows, though.
This one dude had a great tactic for getting through that crowd, which consisted of a bunch of total bitches who wouldn't let anyone through. They all interlocked like a fence. :( I'd probably do the same if I had a sweet spot too, though. But this guy... me and Jim both saw him at different times. Long stringy hair, a beard... he looked like Jesus in a red blazer. And man, I can tell you right now that this guy was high as a fuckin' kite. So he'd mill through the crowd doing this wobblyarms dance and touching people and offering them water, and they'd get creeped out and give the guy like a whole foot radius to stand in. XD
Most irritating was either the guy I got in an elbow-war with (y'know when you're trying to kinda graaadually inch your way to the front, and that usually consists of slowly edging body parts in front of people, usually starting with the foot or the elbow? Yeah.) or the cluster of smelly fifteen-year-old fangirls that I got caught in the midst of. Seriously, the girl in front of me in the fishnet shirt smelled SO. FUCKING. BAD. Like, I started to wonder if it wasn't a tactic or something, to get people out of her way. More on her in a bit... sorta. But augh, these girls. "TEEHEE OMG KEE-YO IS SO HAWT OMG I'M HERE FOR SHINYA LOL I TTLY HAVE CLEVER SLEAZOID STUCK IN MY HEAD RIGHT NOW LOL WOW ME TOO OMG WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN IF I GAVE KEE-YO THE FINGER OMG I THINK HE'D TOTALLY BITE MY EAR OFF" wtffffff. One of them used the word "wanky" and did that "DURRRR HURRRR HURRRR" laugh that all gothteen animu-loving girls do. GO POST ABOUT IT ON YOUR LJS, ROFLTAKU. *giant hypocrite*
So that was fun. I was so hot when it was over that I stepped out into the below-zero street without my coat on and felt GREAT. We decided to go get food at Block E, which is... well. A single building that takes up a block downtown with lots of shit inside. People have been shot outside of it before. 8D; But so we went in and decided to eat at Applebee's and I got a little sick when finishing my quesadilla because I suddenly felt that the cheese and salsa and onions together tasted like the girl in front of me before smelled. I also lamented that I was now too tired to complete our V-Day itinerary even if we DID have time, which we didn't (Jim had to get up for an early class), and Jim noted that I didn't exactly smell like roses anyway. I somehow didn't notice this until I got home, whereupon I wanted to puke at my own stink. You know what old saliva smells like? Yeah, that. Only mustier, because I was covered in sweat, and I'm pretty sure not all of it was mine. Euugh. Took a shower to get rid of that shit, and fell into bed without brushing my teeth because I was so wiped out and sore.
It was fun. 8D;
